@Gargron would payments to Patreon help support more responsive and resilient server capacity? I'm not sure if there are norms for nodes to have subscription/donation payments to support infrastructure or anything, but this could be worth clarifying. I'd be happy to pitch in something to improve service, but unclear how that works

@Gargron keep up the good hard work. I'm excited to be supporting open infrastructure and just updated my Patreon membership to Sponsor. I hope others will do the same and Mastodon gets the support it needs
